A Thursday morning house fire near the busy Rancho and Craig intersection sent thick black smoke rolling over a northwest Las Vegas neighborhood and partially caved in the home’s roof, according to city officials. Fire crews remained on scene for hours as nearby residents were urged to evacuate and the area stayed under an active emergency response into the afternoon.
According to FOX5, Las Vegas Fire & Rescue said multiple 911 callers reported visible smoke, and one reported hearing an explosion. Calls began around 9:40 a.m. for a single-story home at 6280 Hill Haven Ave. Dispatchers advised people at the scene to evacuate, and crews initially mounted an offensive attack inside the structure before switching to a defensive strategy when part of the roof collapsed during operations. Officials told FOX5 that roughly a dozen units responded and that the incident remained active at the time of reporting.
Where It Happened
The address is in the 89130 ZIP code, a northwest Las Vegas residential pocket just east of Rancho Drive and north of Craig Road. Public property listings identify the house at the Hill Haven address and show a neighborhood of mostly single-story homes built in the mid-1990s, matching the location first reported by authorities, per Homes.com.
Fire Crews and Safety
Residents are urged to follow evacuation orders and steer clear of active fire scenes so emergency crews can work quickly and safely. Las Vegas Fire & Rescue also offers prevention resources, including a free smoke-alarm program, with details available on the city’s Fire & Rescue site at LasVegasNevada.gov.
The situation is still developing, and this story will be updated as officials release more information. Neighbors should expect continued emergency vehicle activity and temporary street closures in the area.
